Newark Public Library.

The adjourned meeting of the Newark
Association Monday evening last was
well attended, many being present who
have not been at the regular meeting for
years. Much interest was manifested,
and nearly every one there took part in
the discussions of the various matters
which were brought before the Associa-
ton. 1t was decided to hold meetings
more frequently, and try to revive the in
terest in the Library, which existed just
after it was originally organized. In the
last few weeks several new members
have been added. Some $50 was appro-
priated to the purchase of new books,
which will no doubt be pleasing news to
great many. AS many as possible of
books lately issued which have attracted
the favorable criticism of the newspapers
and magazines, will be bought. The
Library already contains many standard
works, as well as good many books OF a
lighter nature, which gives variety to
the collection now. The latest additions
to the current literature Of the day will
soon be on the shelves. These facts
should make the prosperity of the library
Association, matter of interest to the
community generally.
Those who do not desire to join the
Association regularly, by payment from
time to time, Of a moderate sum, can en-
joy the advantages of the Library, but We
should advise all that can possibly do 80,
to enroll themselves as members, as the
fees are not large. Let Newark have a
Library that will be pride TO the conf
munity. Amy one desiring particularly
any book lately published, can send the
name of such book, or of several books to
the Librarian Mr., Wilbur T. Wilson, and
such book or books win be considered
by the Committee on Library before the
next purchase ofadditions Of the Library
| is made.

Random Thought.
HOMO.

After looking over town peering down
alleys; kicking boxes turning over bar
rels, and interviewing people, we have
failed to get much news. Newark is just
where the original settlers found her.
Columbus may have brought the first
foundation here, or maybe some of those
early navigators, who crossed the Allan

Vespucius were embryos. Can any one

Hotel and gazing eastward who mentally
said, what a splendid site for house."

A NEW LEASE oF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonies

if a new lease Of life had been granted,
Such have been the feelings of thousands,
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies have used Athlophoros and
found to their great Joy that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
At Dubuque, Ia, the druggists say Ath-
lophoros beats them all. We thought it
would be like many other rheumatic medi-
cines that have been put On the market,
sell for while, then gradually sink out of
our memory. But such isnot the case with
AthlephOros: instead of our sales dimin-
ishing they increase, and what makes us
have more faith in its future mission is
that our customers come back and praise its
good work in the highest terms. Said one
druggist to the writer: 'My confidence is
so great in Athlophoros that often sell a
bottle with the understanding that if it is
not satisfactory will refund the money.

Very Peculiar Actions.

Very Peculiar Actions.
Harriet Libby filed in the district court
yesterday papers beginning all action for
divorce from Mark Libby. to whom she
was married in Minneapolis in 1873. He
is 30 years of age and she %, and they have
two children. IL her complaint Mrs Libby
alleges that within the last two years her
husband has become greatly addicted to the
use of Intoxicating liquors. and frequently
came home in beastly state of intoXication
When i'll this condition, Mrs. Libby says,
he would treat her in vile and inhuman
manner and use vile language toward her
in the presence of her children. These acts
OF unkindnesS she forgave, on account of
the little ones, but now she says that pa
thence has ceased to be a virtue. She
charges that Nov. Is, 1885, her husband
came home greatly under the influence of
liquor and began to make improper adj
vances to girl named Eddy Eden, who
was staying at the house. Upon his wifes
protesting he pushed her aside, threw the
Eden girl down and attempted
to assault her. Mrs. Libby
also charges that when drunk
her husband would go to the houses. of ILL
fame on First street and remain there for
days at a time. According to the COM
plant Libby deserted his wife and children
Jan. l, 1886, and has since failed to pro-
vide for them. Mrs. Libby wants the
custody of the children and the right to sell
certain real estate without the signature Of
her husband.
